Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus carried by a user includes a transceiver and a hardware processor. The transceiver establishes a wired connection or a wireless connection between the electronic apparatus and a wearable device that is worn by the user. While a barcode encoded with information is displayed on a screen of an external electronic device, the hardware processor acquires an image depicting the barcode using a camera provided in the wearable device, determines the information encoded in the barcode from the image of the barcode, and executes processing based on the information determined from the barcode.

 the information and a first one-time password are encoded in the barcode, and   the control method further comprises
 determining the information and the first one-time password encoded in the barcode from the image of the barcode, 
 generating a second one-time password, and 
 causing the electronic apparatus to execute the processing when the first one-time password matches the second one-time password. 
   
     
     
         10 . The control method of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 generating the second one-time password using a secret key shared between the electronic apparatus and the external electronic apparatus,   wherein the first one-time password matches the second one-time password when the first one-time password is generated using the secret key.   
     
     
         11 . A computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium storing a computer program which is executable by a computer carried by a user, the computer program controlling the computer to execute functions of:
 establishing a wired connection or a wireless connection between the computer and a wearable device that is worn by the user;   acquiring an image depicting a barcode encoded with information using a camera provided in the wearable device when the barcode is displayed on a screen of an external electronic device;   determining the information encoded in the barcode from the image of the barcode; and   executing processing, based on the information determined from the barcode.
